The agentic AI market is expected to grow nearly 10-fold by 2030. The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to continue in 2026, as more companies move from experimentation to deployment. One big opportunity is the growth of agentic AI, where AI models can respond to a single request from a user and perform…
AI transforms culture into a production shortcut: faster, cheaper and sometimes familiar. But the Super Bowl is one of the last places where brands are reminded that cultural similarity is easy but that shared experience is earned. This year’s game made that distinction clearer than ever. The ads that got a real reaction weren’t the…
Figure 1. Ralph Wiggum has recently been the talk of the AI coding developer community, as Vivek on X explains. The “Ralph loop” in Claude Code adds a “verify and try again” loop to agentic coding tasks. Many users found it remarkably useful for completing some agentic coding tasks, so the method has gone viral….
Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing faster than the network that powers it. As Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella recently warnedthe real limit of AI isn’t the chips… it’s the electricity. Energy has become the main bottleneck in AI, pushing tech giants to create their own energy source and reboot all available energy sources. Whoever gains this…

Michael Kitces and Ben Henry-Moreland ask whether these long-term problems require a solution other than AI? JANUARY 21, 2026 By Ben Henry-Moreland and Michael Kitces As companies grow and merge over time, they accumulate technical debt. Technologies, capabilities, and processes that in a perfect world would be retooled and improved every time the company grows…
The National Science Foundation is working to alleviate barriers to AI adoption — such as lack of GPUs and cost constraints — as it aims to play a supporting role in the ongoing national effort, according to a senior agency official. The NSF has long been a cornerstone of national technology interests, from democratizing biotechnology…
